Madonna impresses Game of Thrones cast with her Mother of Dragons costume
19 MARCH 2014
Queen of pop Madonna didn't just impress her fans when she dressed up as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. The Material Girl got the seal of approval from the show's excited cast members – including the Mother of Dragons herself.
"Oh my goodness. It’s insane. I thought I was asleep, I thought I was dreaming,” Emilia Clarke – who plays her – told Access Hollywood at the New YorkGame of Thrones premiere when asked what she thought of seeing Madonna dressed as her character.
"It's a huge moment. And, damn! She looks good," the London-born actress added.
Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth in the fantasy drama, was equally enthusiastic.
She said: "
I got really, really excited. Madonna’s always been a favorite of mine. I love her strength and her transformative nature and the idea that she might be dressing up as a brilliant character in the TV show I’m in is pretty exciting."
Kristian Nairn, who plays Hodor, said he "totally freaked out". He added: "That’s kind of a sign how big ‘Game of Thrones’ has got,” he said. "The Queen of Pop is wearing a Daenerys costume."
Sophie Turner – aka Sansa Stark – was equally taken aback. "I'm like still getting over it," the 18-year-old actress said. “But that's amazing. I'm dying."
Actress (and singer) Carice van Houten joked that Madonna could have chosen another ensemble, namely the one worn by her character,
Melisandre, the Red Priestess.
“I was like, ‘Why’s she not wearing the red dress, man?’ No, I completely get it.
It’s such a great honor for my youth idol to dress up like someone that I’m working with,” Carice said. “But the fact that Jack Nicholson and Snoop Dogg and Samuel L. Jackson are watching the show — it’s pretty cool too.”
Kristian Nairn, who plays the one-lined character Hodor (he just says Hodor – so far!), and who is also a DJ, loved seeing Madonna as Dany.
“ kind of freaked out, slightly. That’s kind of a sign how big ‘Game of Thrones’ has got,” he said. “The Queen of Pop is wearing a Daenerys costume. I completely freaked out.”[/B]
John Bradley (Samwell Tarly) thought it was a good example of the show’s reach.
“She looks delighted, doesn’t she? Look at that. Things like this are just amazing,” he said. “It’s when you know that you’re really kind of pressing the right kind of cultural buttons.”
“I’m like still getting over it,” Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) told Access.
“But that’s amazing. I’m dying.”
Alfie Allen told Access he thought it was “fabulous.”
“It’s crazy. It’s mad and everyone’s up on it,” he added. “It’s mental.”
